(116,464 posts)"In the case of Ron Paul, I think he is right about drug liberalisation, and wrong about most other things. Since I quite like e.g. the US economy continuing to exist, I will not be advocating voting for him."
...I simply don't believe Paul's propaganda. He has twice touted the views of an anti-gay person who mentioned or espoused the death penalty for gays. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002183905
I don't buy his propaganda on the war on drugs.

For all I know, he would have no problem with a death penalty for drug offenses (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002180204) given his support for "mandatory vaginal ultrasound probes" (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002161152)
"I *will* be advocating backing him in the Republican primaries as strongly as we can, though - I think he's by some margin the least electable of their candidates, and would probably be only marginally more catastrophic a president if by some miracle he got in."
Wouldn't it be a riot if Romney chose Paul as his VP or offered him a position in his cabinet?
Paul has defended Romney on Bain (http://upload.democraticunderground.com/1002149315) and a CNN poll shows he's tied with Obama (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/16/cnn-poll-obama-tied-with-romney-paul-in-november-showdowns/)
I mean, I find the calls (not by you) to simply ignore Paul very strange.
